"Ladies and gentleman, my bodyguard." I say, mostly to myself. Apart from tasking like swallowing fire, it did give me a nice buzz for a few minutes- I'm not sure I'd want to keep it going for long, but I don't like to let loose like that.
Getting …
I wonder if VB will be ok here, but I don't say anything. If Kiddo is ok with leaving her here, that's good enough for me. She's just so tiny.
I walk over to Kodak, surprised to see Rinso there- I thought he was staying with Svenja? "What's the pla…
I blink a few tears away and wait a second for my eyes to focus on her hand. "Oh. That would do it."
I hold my hands out, "No, no. God no. I'm just fine, thanks. All for you."
I laugh- I don't doubt her for a second... "Yeah, just a bit." I say, taking a small sip from the cup.
I swallow it, but immediately begin coughing. My eyes water. "Fuck. What is in that?" I say, when I regain the power of speech.
I don't know that I will be able to get Kiddo past that angry guy, but I certainly would feel better with Kiddo around. "I'll try." I reply honestly. "You? Piss someone off? I can't see it." I laugh.
"The crew seems alright." I answer. "Kodak wants me to go in-town with him later, check out the food and stuff. He was real nice about Union."
I laugh a bit- "I think I'm the only one who likes Motel's singing!"
I laugh at Kiddo's comment. "Can't shoot a gun for shit." I reply. "What's Chedd's deal? Why is he so secretive?" I ask, lowering my voice.
I keep one ear on the radio, feeling silly about it, but doing it nonetheless. I'm tempted to have a drink, …
I'm surprised to see Closer on his machine. I went out with some friends from the hospital one night and the band played a cover of it- it was so unusual.
"I'll bet." I say. The thing is even older than the tech I had a hundred years ago.
I shake Twizzler's hand. "Stitch- nice to meet you." I reply giggling over VB and Ched.
I turn to Ched and shake his hand, still smiling. "Nice to meet you, Ched. I'm Stitch. Yeah, from the caravan."
I look over at Kiddo, who seems very eager to t…
"Ok, yeah." I answer him. I doubt I have enough jingle to refill the whole kit, but maybe if we have time I can pick up a shift or something.
"Yeah, cause I'm gonna be able to help if she gets into trouble..." I say with a smile, joking.
I try and stay out of the crossfire between Kiddo and Ivory- none of my business.
If Kodak needs me right away, I'll go with him. Otherwise, I'll go with Kiddo to Ched's tent. I could use a stiff drink right about now...
"Yeah, he did. Though I'm not sure why. I'm not great with people." I answer Svenja. It'll be interesting to see their setup. Like, real electricity? That's exciting.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure Svenja would rather be left with just Rinso and not me...
There's groupings of tents set up- some tiny two person camping tents and a few larger ones with standing room. All are well worn, but patched with skill.
I wonder what kind of equipment the doctors in Trench have to work with. Better than the stuff in Boomtown, I'm sure. I shrug when Bank says I could get in there- the walls keep the riff raff out, but they keep folk in, too.
"Eh. Figure I'll do thi…
I break out in a stupid grin when Topps comes on the radio- the only thing better would be for Metro to actually get on air. I try and tamp down the grin, but I'm sure Bank can put two and two together.
I'm a little nervous going into Trench- there…
OOC: "Your driving has gone better than you expected..."
I forgot how much I enjoyed driving- I didn't get to do much of it back in Imbria, most of the cars were self-driving hovercars and that just wasn't fun at all. I keep going back to Metro's s…
Metro warned me that the woman who runs Trench- Spanx- is capital C, crazy. Just when you write her off as a nutjob- she talks to herself and seems to have multiple personalities- she does something ruthless or genius. She is either crazy or brillia…

That beard of his against my cheek and neck make me close my eyes and sigh. "You call this teasing?" I say, breathy and smirking. I move my hands to his chest and down, playing with his belt.
There's definitely a part of me that knows exactly wher…
